The Man Who Sold Off Vacasa: Sell Your Airbnb Business NOW — Before The Window Closes! | Jacobie Olin
Description
What is your short term rental management company actually worth? Jacobie Olin sells these companies for a living, around 20 deals a year worth close to 200 million dollars, and in this episode he breaks down exactly how buyers value your business, what multiples they pay, and why most operators are sitting on a lifestyle business instead of a sellable asset.
Jacobie is the founder of C2G Advisors and brokered the landmark Vacasa and Casago deal. He walks through EBITDA, multiples, take rate, churn, and the real steps to turn a small management business into something worth millions. If you have ever thought about selling your rental business one day, this is the playbook for what to build toward now.
